Bright Star Road [Entertainment]

Although "Mom" is a bit more commercialized than Li Wei's last film, it is still a literary film in essence, so its visual presentation is not as dazzling as ordinary science fiction films.Except for a few shots that are computer special effects shots made with CG, the rest of the shots are basically shot indoors, and most of the so-called sci-fi equipment is realized by the skillful hands of prop masters.But even so, as the two most important actors in the movie, Ke Fan and Liu Jiaying showed [-]% enthusiasm.For Ke Fan, this is his first film, and success means that he can make his debut as an actor instead of rushing to the single-plank bridge of idols; for Liu Jiaying, this is his farewell to the film world. In her comeback work after Yu Nian, she has to prove her worth to the film industry, otherwise no one will think how abominable what her elder brother did back then.Driven by the two leading actors, the atmosphere of the entire crew is still very harmonious and positive.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Li Wei's crew is good at humanized management.What kind of boss is the most popular?Of course, the bold Shanghai-style boss is the most popular.As a young man in the top ten of the world's richest list, Li Wei is willing to spend money on many details.For example, the temperature of the studio is too high. In addition to the central air conditioner not shutting down for cooling, we also specially purchased large fans and ice cubes to help everyone cool down.Other people's studios are above 40°C, and even 50°C is not uncommon; but Li Weiling controls the temperature of the studio at around 30°C.Although the temperature is still a bit hot, but everyone has been in the crew before, so this bit of hardship is no longer bitter.Moreover, Li Wei's director assistant team has always been known as the "logistics procurement team", because Li Wei would order them to purchase different fruit snacks every day.Because Li Wei knows that there is a difference in treatment in the lounge, and many ordinary actors cannot enjoy fruits and snacks.Therefore, Li Wei simply put fruits and snacks in the waiting area of ​​the shooting scene, so that the young actors could have a better time as much as possible.And every afternoon, Li Wei always invites everyone to drink drinks, coffee, milk tea, juice, and does not bring heavy samples every day, and what he ordered is not a cheap shop.A chain coffee shop even opened a branch near the TV center because Li Wei's order was too large.Moreover, the store owner revealed that Li Wei's orders accounted for almost two-thirds of the daily orders.

Now that we have encountered such a generous boss as Li Wei, it would be hard to say if the employees don't work hard to film.Besides, the film and television industry is not big, and the story of you being lazy in this crew is hard to guarantee that it will not spread to other crews.This is what is often said in the entertainment industry, it is better to offend big brothers and sisters than to offend the staff.Although it is terrible to be hated by big brothers and sisters, some big brothers and big sisters will not directly attack due to their status, so there is still a chance to hide.But the staff of the crew basically never take revenge overnight. When it comes to rain scenes, the makeup artist deliberately doesn’t give you waterproof makeup. After a scene, you just wait for your black pictures to fly all over the sky; Among the white and tender actresses, you are the most conspicuous yellow-faced woman; the cameraman is even more amazing, he can keep you busy all day, but you don't have a single shot.

"Sister Jiaying, are you still used to filming these days?"

Since the scene was changing, the actors all returned to the lounge to rest.After Li Wei also handed over the work to the assistant director, he went to the rest area to pay attention to the leading actors.The mentality of an actor is very important to filming. If the actor is depressed, it is very paradoxical to shoot any non-depressed shots.And if the actor has other mood changes, it is definitely easy to make mistakes in front of the camera.Therefore, it is also a work point for the director to care about the emotional changes of the actors.

"Director Li, why are you here?" Liu Jiaying returned to her lounge to rest after hearing the assistant director say that she wanted to change scenes.

She is still very grateful for the lounge arranged by the crew.The production crew didn't care about their more than ten years of blank filming period at all, and they treated themselves as first-line actors as soon as they came up.The lounge not only has a jacuzzi and massage chairs to relax yourself, but also specially installed air conditioners so that you can forget the stuffy heat.In addition, the fruits, snacks and drinks carefully prepared are all my favorites, and they are absolutely fresh.Even the drinks are prepared in two versions, iced and room temperature, for fear that I am not used to them.The crew thinks highly of themselves, so naturally Liu Jiaying can't just enjoy and not work.It doesn't count if I have memorized the script by heart, and I spend time in the waiting room trying to figure out the mood of the characters in the plot.

"Sit down quickly! Would you like something to drink? The crew is so polite and has prepared so much."

"Just give me a bottle of mineral water." Li Wei asked for the simplest mineral water, "Sister Jiaying, I found that you are trying to figure out the characters, but you still haven't grasped the key points. In fact, the context of the story is very Simple, the heroine is heartbroken because of the death of her son. In order to appease the wife, the husband of the heroine creates an artificial intelligence robot that is exactly like the son. Facing the cruel reality of the heroine, her son will never come back. This is an important reason why the heroine's emotions towards the artificial intelligence robot suddenly become contradictory and intense only in the middle of the story.

When human beings face major emergencies, their emotions will go through five stages without exception.The first stage is denial. For example, the heroine refused to accept the reality of her son’s death in the early stage, and the robot made by her husband diverted the heroine’s emotions.Because of the existence of the robot, the heroine's rejection is maximized.But humans are not emotional creatures who are supposed to be good at self-deception, and soon they will be angry that the reality they deny is true after all.That's why you see that in the story, the emotional conflict between the heroine and the robot is very conflicting.She not only loves this robot that has the same appearance as her son, but at the same time hates this robot that reminds herself of the cruel reality that her son is dead.In the end, the heroine was forced to compromise and accept the reality of her son's death, so she gave up the robot, hoping that her husband could take him back.But when the heroine was in a period of emotional depression, the good times she had with the robot soothed her, and the robot's desperation to escape back to take care of her revived her, so she began to re-adopt the robot and her husband and Court fights.At the end of the story, the heroine accepts the reality of her son's death, and also accepts the robot's adopted son's love for her.

This is the emotional context of our whole story. Anger and depression are the two emotional climax points of the story, and they are also the key points for us to shape the character of the heroine.Therefore, I would like to ask Miss Jiaying to figure out the details of these two parts. "

Although Liu Jiaying has not made a film and television drama for more than ten years, she has never let go of her acting skills. After all, stage dramas, which directly face the audience, actually place more emphasis on acting skills.The so-called retreat practice of many first-line actors in the circle is to go to the repertory theater or stage troupe to rehearse and perform with the troupe. Usually, after training like this for half a year or a year, when they come back, the audience will be amazed that their acting skills have improved to a new level.Although Liu Jiaying's troupe is a small troupe, she is very good at honing her acting skills.After receiving Li Wei's advice, Liu Jiaying suddenly became enlightened and thanked her repeatedly.Li Wei accompanied Liu Jiaying for a few words and then left.

After leaving Liu Jiaying's lounge, Li Wei came to Ke Fan's lounge.Since Ke Fan is still underage, a guardian was present throughout the filming.Fortunately, Mother Ke is also sensible, and she doesn't have the bad habit of bossing around like some other star mothers.When the son is filming, he looks at his mobile phone in the lounge, or helps his son clean up the things he likes to eat when he will rest later.When Li Wei came to see Ke Fan, Ke's mother was urging her son to do his homework.

Like the vast majority of families, although Mama Ke is a bit of a star mother, she still agrees with the theory that "only reading is good".Therefore, Ke Fan did not dare to relax at all in his homework. Whenever the remedial teacher arranged by the company gave a lecture, Ke's mother had to follow it.In Li Wei's eyes, it is really pitiful for the parents of the world.

After Ke's mother saw Li Wei coming in, she immediately asked Ke Fan to stand up and say hello.Even if Mother Ke doesn't understand the twists and turns of the entertainment industry, she still knows that the young man in front of her is in charge of her son's future.

Li Wei was not so strict, and smiled to let Ke Fan and Ke's mother sit down.Li Wei said: "Mother Ke, there is something I need to explain to you first. Your son will be beaten at the end of the movie. Although we will borrow seats during the filming, there is still a certain risk. This point I have to ask for your understanding, otherwise when the filming starts later, you will feel that we are abusing your son, which is not good."

"That director, I don't know anything about filming. But I also know that those scenes of beating people in movies and TV dramas still have to be filmed by someone, right? Since my son chose the road of filming, today he escaped from your crew, What about next time? How to shoot is up to you. But don’t hurt the child.” Ke’s mother said.

"Don't worry! The crew members are all senior citizens, and these dangerous shots will be evaluated by professional action design companies and insurance companies. Basically, there will be no danger." Li Wei explained, " By the way, Ke Fan is still used to it recently? Because the actor union and the child welfare department have regulations, the filming time of child actors cannot exceed six hours, and they are not allowed to film after [-] pm and before [-] am, so Ke Fan’s The shooting density is a bit high, can you bear it?"

"It's okay, Director Li, I can take it." Ke Fan nodded.Li Wei smiled and patted Ke Fan's head and left.

Back in the shooting area, the scene set up by the props team was almost finished, and the assistant director was checking there.At the same time, the lighting assistant is arranging staff to stand in a fixed position to measure light.Many film and television dramas ignore the step of assistant metering, and the resulting shots are either overexposed or completely underexposed.And the most terrible thing is that the lighting is uneven.In one shot, some people are as white as vampires, while others are so black that they can hardly be seen.The purpose of metering before shooting is to avoid such things from happening, especially to ensure sufficient and not excessive light in the way the protagonist walks.In the shots shot in this way, the protagonists can be presented very conspicuously.Generally, actors are not allowed to do the metering directly, and they always find a staff member of similar height and skin color.Finally, after the actors are dressed up, they can adjust the details slightly.

In addition to the lighting assistant metering there, the photography assistant also walks there once with small shooting equipment according to the photographer's request, which can save shooting time.After Li Wei returned here, he was also explaining the details of the next shooting with the photographer and lighting engineer, and at the same time checking the status of the actors with the assistant directors.After everything was confirmed, the crew started working again.
